Ice-Hunter Arc (Episodes 326-336): Filler set in-between Post-Ennies Lobby and Thriller Bark, the Straw Hats end up in the Florian Triangle after they leave Water 7 and find themselves up against some mysterious formidable foes. Check it out if you have the time!
One Piece Romance Dawn Story: A retelling of the very first One Piece adventure with a twist! Instead of just Luffy, all the Straw Hats are present for this version. Ideal for die-hard fans, watch it if you want a look at Oda’s very first storyline! We must warn you though, there will be an opportunity to revisit this later on in the anime.
Spa Island Arc (Episodes 382-384): Filler set after Thriller Bark for the sake of pacing, we catch the Straw Hats as they attempt to get some rest and recreation (the operative word is attempt) however, as usual, things never go according to plan. Nevertheless, we think you can let this one go if you want to stick with the main storyline.
Sabaody Archipelago Arc (Episodes 406-407): Special episodes that aren’t part of the continuity, here we have another One Piece AU where we go back to Feudal Japan. You can definitely skip it.
Little East Blue Arc (Episodes 426-429): A special anime-only arc, this storyline is meant to lead us into the 10th One Piece film, Strong World. So only bother with this if you intend to watch the movie!
One Piece Film Strong World: Episode 0: A limited release OVA, this expands the 10th film’s narrative, check it out if you’re watching the movie, but don’t bother if you want to stick with the main storyline.
Marineford Arc (Episodes 457-458): Special Re-cap before we gear up for Marineford! Without giving too much away, if you’ve forgotten Luffy’s background use this for a refresher, otherwise carry onward!
[[Infiltrate!! Thousand Sunny]]: Totally irrelevant, it’s a tour of the Thousand Sunny by Brook. You definitely won’t miss this one.
Post-War Arc (Episodes 492,497-499,506): Episode 492 is a crossover between One Piece and Toriko, so you can definitely skip it! Episodes 497-499 are filler in Luffy’s childhood flashback but they flesh out the timeline nicely, so we suggest watching them, and Episode 506, without revealing too much, looks at the Straw Hats in the aftermath of Marineford. While there are more episodes in the main storyline addressing it, we suggest watching this one as well.
ONE PIECE 3D! Trap Coaster: A 12-minute, 3D-animated short where Luffy and the Straw Hats are, once again, pursued by the Marines. You can skip this one for sure!
Fish-Man Island Arc (Episodes 542): The second Toriko crossover, unless you’re into both fandoms and like crossovers, don’t bother with this either. If you’re gonna watch it though, we suggest watching Episode 51 of Toriko since this is technically the part two of that.
Episode of Nami: Tears of a Navigator and the Bonds of Friendship: A TV special that’s an abridged retelling of the Arlong Park Arc, if you feel the nostalgia for East Blue and have forgotten (if that’s even possible) the first super intense arc of One Piece, go for it! Safe to say, though, we doubt you’ll need it.
